Almost journalist, now studying digital transitions in Indian newsrooms. Usually hungry. Rarely bored. Whimsical news hound.

1/ My latest story, out today, marks one year of my project tracking Covid-19 cases among food system workers. During that time, nearly 400 workers have died of Covid.

Have conditions improved? Are workers still getting sick?

Here's what I found (🧵):

🙌🏾 @leahjdouglas, y’all. she dug in, exposing the worst. kept tracking, & making it easier for others to follow the story with maps, charts & graphics. Her work over this last year has helped catalyze movement & shape legislation. This is the kind of journalism that builds power.

don’t just check on your AAPI friends. read up on the Chinese Exclusion Act, US occupation of the Philippines, Japanese internment camps. listen to AAPI women when they talk about the racist, sexualized messages they’ve heard all their lives. we’re all tired and it’s just not new

[navina khanna @navinakhanna]

👇🏾. Know that hate crimes have BEEN happening against Asian folks. Count the wars that have been fought. Know that they revoked our citizenship. Know that Black and Brown and Asian folks have been resisting together and that won’t stop now. #KnowHistoryKnowSelf

Shit Shit. I wrote about Kanchan in my recently published essay in 'Our Freedom' by @nilanjanaroy. I first met her in 2007. This is so bloody frustrating. I am so so sorry Kanchan

"News readers in India have lost trust in online news media due to poor journalism, fake news and “hyper-partisan content”" and many "have high concerns over the “possible implications” of expressing their “political views” online", @CNNnews18 writes https://t.co/FRuB0mjOVy

Anushka Shah of @civicMIT and I studied Indian media's coverage of farmer protests for @thecaravanindia https://t.co/vwTaQqVSKN

[The Caravan @thecaravanindia]

According to Media Cloud data, nearly 94 percent of the 5,072 stories about farmer protests published between March and mid July talked about either the unconventional methods used by the farmers to gain attention or the violence related to the protests.

Enjoy the 6th Media Issue of @thecaravanindia. Brilliant cover on Rajeev Chandrasekhar by @nikita1712 and Atul Dev--5+ months, 100+interviews, two reporters. Other must reads: Scoopwhoop, Whatsapp, perils of media houses hosting events, and journalism in Kashmir and small towns.

New @risj_oxford report on English-language Indian news media's social media strategies. Most see relationship btw publishers and platforms as win–win in short term. But many are concerned about platform risk around editorial control+data+money longer-term https://t.co/hF60v4qaQI

[zeenabaneez @zeenabaneez]
